Exilis: Is There a Risk of the RF Remaining in Your Body After Treatment?

would the RF stay in your body after treatment somehow and be a risk to yourself in someway or to others if for example you hold a newborn baby after you had an exilis treatment or if you are sitting near a toddler or anyone for that matter?

RF from Exilis does not "remain" in the body after treatment!

Exilis utilizes monopolar RF (radio frequency) energy directed to the upper layers of your skin and fat tissues to heat and stimulate collagen production and adipocyte "leakage." No RF energy is residual in treated areas, nor do you re-radiate RF to anyone else. However, the heated tissues now have a collagen stimulis. This is analagous to asking if microwave energy remains in a cup of water heated in a microwave oven. The microwave energy (another part of the electromagnetic... more

RF Will Not Remain In Body After Exilis Treatment

Neither the infrared nor the mono-polar radio frequency (the technology that allows Exilis to produce such great results) will remain in your body causing harm later on. Exilis uses a controlled heat that is only transmitted during the treatment. Exilis is an extremely safe, non-invasive body contouring and skin tightening procedure. Best of luck to you!

No long-term risk of RF in body with Exilis

No, there is no long-term risk to you or anyone else after Exilis treatments with respect to the types of risks that you are alluding to in your question. Exilis energy heats your tissues and is gone and done when the treatment is over.

@ Sylvia B - I read the answers provided by doctors that are probably making a lot of money doing Exilis treatments, but PLEASE BE AWARE!!!!

In spite of all the doctors and spa owners claiming there are NO side effects and claiming how safe it is, I am a patient who has actually done the Exilis procedure and I am having MANY side effects! By the evening of my first appointment, I was in severe pain. I had as much pain as I did after having surgery. My lower abdomen was so swollen, I looked as if I was six months pregnant. A few days later, I found a knot in my lower abdomen. It is currently 21 days after my treatment and my stomach is still swollen and I still look pregnant. The knot has increased in size. To my knowledge, Exilis is FDA approved for WRINKLES, but not for fat removal. It was only approved for wrinkles in late 2009. There is not enough research to truly KNOW all the side effects, in my opinion. I believe there will eventually be a lot of people who will come forward with many different side effects. Most spas and doctors who are making a large amount of MONEY with the Exilis will NOT advertise anything but GOOD results. They have a very biased opinion. I personally, would NEVER recommend Exilis. My health means way more to me than that!
